10 Days in ALGONQUIN PARK | CANOE CAMPING | PART 1

Join me as I head out into the backcountry of Algonquin Park on a 10 day canoe camping trip with my buddies Eze, Paul and Fred.
This is part 1 of the trip, which sees us paddle and portage through small lakes and rivers, until we reach the biggest lake of the trip before getting caught in a thunderstorm and some pretty bad weather.
Hope you enjoy the video.
Matt

Who needs a gym with all that portage Matt. My money is on you to catch the biggest fish mate. Awesome adventure Part 1 bring on Part 2. Bushyboy Oz.

My son was in Algonquin for a week in the middle of September, he said it rained pretty much the entire time he was there. But it's still camping in Algonquin, which is still better than doing most anything else.

[@ADVENTUREISMADE]

Yeah we had some pretty bad weather, but still really enjoyed it 😁 such an amazing place 🇨🇦👌🏻 thanks, Matt 👍🏻

[@GusExplores]

An epic experience well done. I don't fancy camping in that storm mind you.

[@frdrckcole]

Bloody awesome Matt. I love the focus on the adverse conditions and gruelling portages we experienced. It certainly wasn't a fair weathered trip but we did have some good days which made it all worth it. It was a real pleasure tripping with you guys. Looking forward to re-living the trip in your next video.

[@bonpecheur4565]

Would you say the bigest game changer for you , compare to Scotland , was to camp in a region where animals can actually be a potential danger ? That series starts pretty well , hope you had a great time in our country , looking forward for the next episode, thank's . Oh, by the way , I like how you pronounce "portage" , the same way we do in Québec , the french speaking province next to Ontario 🙂

[@craigpalmer347]

Wow that was Awesome Matt looks Great 👍👍🤞🍻

[@rkw4565]

Beautiful country, great scenery.

[@CanoeTheNorth]

Hey Matt. Looks like you had a crazy amount of rain but you guys seemed to have made the best of it. Enjoyed part 1 and really looking forward to part 2. Hopefully you guys had better weather for the rest of the trip. 🍁 🇬🇧

[@ADVENTUREISMADE]

Thanks guys! Yeah we had a couple of wet days haha thankfully we were due a rest day and seemed to time it pretty well 😂 but yeah we had some really nice days too 😁 thank you! Such an amazing place, hopefully will be back one day 🇨🇦🙌🏻

Thanks Karl! Second part will be available to watch tonight 😁 Yeah rain was mental haha, cheers mate 👍🏻 Matt

Awesome video Matt! So many memories coming back. Genuinely forgotten how bad the rain was that day on big trout 😂 and trying to keep that fire going 😅 Looking forward to the next episode.

Thanks Trevor mate 👍🏻

[@OrderOfWoods]

This was my favourite video so far! Loved the trip. The nature looks different in Canada already. Perfect! Looking forward for part 2 ✌️🤠

[@benny_mc]

Nice one Matt. Looks like a great trip! Looking forward to the rest of the series 👍

[@ADVENTUREISMADE]

Thanks Benny! Was unreal mate. Loved every minute of it 👍🏻

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Great stuff mate, what an adventure. The canoes look interesting, fairly narrow and about 15ft? Also looks like they're made from fibre glass or epoxy maybe? Looking forward to the next part 👍

[@ADVENTUREISMADE]

Thanks mate! Yeah it was class, can't wait to go back at some point 👌🏻 so yeah they are just short of 15 ft and made from an epoxy I believe. They are the H20 solo series 14.6 only weight about 13kg so ideal for long trips on flat water. Love your channel mate, cheers, Matt 👍🏻

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

@@ADVENTUREISMADE Cheers mate! 👍

[@alanarmer8069]

Brilliant video Matt,beautiful scenery and what a storm ⛺️⛺️

[@EzeAdventurer]

So awesome to relive this mate!! What a trip!!! Missing being there with the boys, big time! So funny watching you make the analysis to come back to camp before the rain started on big trout lake... reminds me I was out there too and didn't make the smart decision lol!!!!

[@TheGreasyCamper]

Thanks dude

[@BurtReynoldstash]

Cracking video mate. Got my mrs going I’ve been there, done that. Lol. Looks amazing

[@ADVENTUREISMADE]

Thanks mate! Haha awesome. Yeah it really was. Can't wait to go back 😁👍🏻

[@gerardburns4161]

Brilliant video, really hope that you are enjoying the trip, massive thanks for this at a weird time for me, please keep going m8, ONE DAFT QUESTION, Have Ye got some kind of defence against the Bears or Wolves?

[@ADVENTUREISMADE]

My pleasure Gerard mate! so we were planning on taking bear spray, but after speaking to the outfitter we decided not to bother. We had whistles and air horns to deter anything during the night 👍🏻

[@Gunslinger-1962-martin]

A totally beautiful scenic place matt 🙌 I bet it took a while to sink in that you were actually canoeing in Canada 🇨🇦 👏👏👏👏🛶 quite a few gruelling portages , glad they didn't hire you the hou one's 🤭 nice to see everyone giving the others a little room to film their own take on this Epic trip 🛶🍺👌

[@ADVENTUREISMADE]

Yeah took me a few days haha. Definitely need a light boat out there for the portages so we went for the H20, they are so light. Might see if I can get one sent over here, no good for rivers tho. Was good, all just did our own thing really and took it at our own pace 😁 cheers Martin 👍🏻

[@foresteroutdoors]

Trip looks immense Matt! What a place! Can’t say I fancy those portages tho! 🤢

[@GinaScott0315]

Been waiting for this one. Thanks Matt

[@ADVENTUREISMADE]

Thanks Gina, hope you enjoyed it 😁

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Fantastic Matt, it's the ultimate place to get to paddle I bet. What a stunning area you in. Looking like some tough portages pal, was the canoe heavy? It didn't look too bad for you to carry. Amazing weather in this one and that thunder! Wow! Can't wait for part 2 buddy

[@ADVENTUREISMADE]

Thanks Ant! It truly was mate 👌🏻They were really light think they were around 13kg lol. Was such a good trip, can't wait to go back at some point 😁👍🏻

[@beancampingpodcast7926]

Another world, on another scale! 👍 Do the threat of bears not mean you sleep with one eye open? 👀 humans are the biggest threat this site of the water!!

[@bonpecheur4565]

Why are the humans the bigest threat here in Ontario in the middle of nowhere ? Since when campers are attacked by other people ? I dont understand why you are saying that .

[@beancampingpodcast7926]

@@bonpecheur4565 ‘this’ side of the water was referring to the UK, watching from across the world - seeing as we don’t have any wildlife that’s of any real threat, the greatest risk from another animal remains a human!!

[@bonpecheur4565]

@@beancampingpodcast7926 OK, thanks for the clarification 👍

[@ADVENTUREISMADE]

So the first couple of nights I was a bit weary tbh, but I knew the chance of seeing one would be low. Just had to make sure all our food was hung up etc on a night. But they are timid animals and are generally scared of humans. It was more the moose. I was worried about coming crashing through camp in night lol. Cheers mate 👍🏻

[@davidthompson1504]

Great video shame the weather’s no better than here in uk

[@ADVENTUREISMADE]

Cheers David! Yeah it was pretty wild at times, but had some really nice days too, I did notice the weather changes very quickly out there!

[@edpikestone6800]

Looks like an epic trip so far. How were the bugs?

[@ADVENTUREISMADE]

Cheers Ed, was awesome! Yeah fine mate, left our bug shirts in the hire car on the advice of the outfitter and they were right as there was hardly any bugs at all 👍🏻
